The American Idol Drinking Game

Thursday, March 31, 2005

In celebration of Paula Abdul being inebriated on American Idol, here's a fun new drinking game for the show.

I came across a drinking game for the show already, but it was a piece of garbage like "every time one of the contestants is a female, drink."

So here's one that makes you pay attention and will get you Paula'd in no time.

1. Every time Seacrest says "America"
2. Every time Randy Jackson says "It was alright for me" or "it was okay for me."
3. Every time Simon says "It reminded me of..." or "karaoke."
4. If Simon isn't wearing a black shirt, chug your drink.
5. Every time Paula claps or stands up during a song
6. Every time a contestant reaches one or more arms toward the camera
7. Every time a contestant enters the crowd while singing
8. Every time you see the contestant's family
9. Every time Paula actually has something negative to say about a contestant
10. Every time Simon has something positive to say
11. Every time Seacrest makes physical contact with Simon or one of the male contestants (it actually happens more times than you might think).
12. Every time Seacrest says "after the break."
13. At the end of the show, finish your drink with "Seacrest out!" (thanks to Dustin for this great finish to the game).

Am I missing any?

What's in Paula's Coke?

Wednesday, March 30, 2005

Paula Abdul was wasted on last night's American Idol.

Check out this "Paula Abdul gets more wasted as the night goes on" montage I put together.

Tell me she's not canned off her "straight up now pour me another Captain and Coke" behind.

Good god

One sausage patty, two eggs, two American cheese slices and three strips of bacon.

On a bun.

It's the new Enormous Omelet Sandwich at Burger King.

This is probably the filthiest breakfast sandwich of all time.

730 calories.

I'm gonna go into Burger King and say, "Can I get the Emormous Omelet Sandwich, but can you pour the biscuit gravy over it? Thanks."

Michael Jackson The Warrior



Michael Jackson was on Jesse Jackson's radio show last night. I know. Pretty much anyone can get a radio show.

Michael had some interesting things to say.

He says he's a warrior in one clip. In the next clip, he says he's very fragile.

Good to see he still has that dual-identity thing still working for him.

Coming out on Easter?

Friday, March 25, 2005

So, this morning we were taking calls on "most messed up Easter experience."

Then we get a call from a kid who says his most messed up Easter experience may happen this weekend. Take a listen and let me know how you think I handled the situation.

Big lips wins!



FHM has released its 100 Sexiest Women in the World list.

Angelina Jolie is number one.

Billy Bob is number two. As in a pile of ____. And his pure association with Angelina should eliminate her from the list completely.

Yeah, she's hot. But she's less sexy by association.

Alyssa Milano is number six.

Where's Mona on the list?

The idiots at American Idol

Thursday, March 24, 2005

They had to basically repackage Tuesday night's episode to play again for last night because one of the morons who does graphics for the show put three wrong phone numbers up for the voting process.

They were probably too busy planning a readjustment of one of Seacrest's strands of hair to pay attention to the production of the show.

By the way, one hundred billion people vote for American Idol each week, yet I've met to meet a person who has voted.

Anyone?

And, how hot is Carrie Underwood? Strange coincidence, right now I have a condition known as "overwood."

Weird.

The O.C. Revealed



Mischa Barton, a.k.a. bi-curious Marissa from The O.C. is officially a superstar.

Someone used a 20-foot long lens to get some topless photos of her sunbathing.

Because this is a family website (loose definition) you won't find the pictures here. Besides, you should be able to google good enough to find them yourself if you're a dedicated amateur "picture" connoisseur.

Disclaimer: You get a side-angle view in the pictures. You will be disappointed by the level of exposure.

Clocky

Wednesday, March 23, 2005

I hit the snooze alarm for a half hour straight every morning when I get up.

It's part of my wakeup routine, and it can give you some funky dreams some times, so I don't mind the process.

But there is a new invention for people who hit the snooze. Check out "Clocky."


Yeah, it's that ugly carpeted thing, made almost entirely from Pat O'Brien moustache fibers.

When you hit the snooze button, it rolls off your night stand and hides somewhere and continues to beep. By the time you find it, the theory is, you're awake.

I take it that the carpet is supposed to be camo of some sort, but at least it looks attractive on a night stand.

It's still in the prototype stage, so you'll have to wait before you can get it.

Pat O'Brien's Dirty Mouth (and Stash)



Who would've thought Pat O'Brien would have a dirtier mouth than Bill O'Reilly.

It's like I always say, never trust a man with a moustache, you can never tell what he's thinking.

This chick says he left numerous messages on her machine. Here's one for your enjoyment.

If you hadn't heard, he's also checked into rehab for alcohol and 70's porn stash addiction.

Jake in Progress (to cancellation)

Friday, March 18, 2005

Mistro asked about Jake in Progress, the new ABC show starring former Full House lady-killer John Stamos.

The show is terrible. Poor Stamos. First his marriage falls apart, then his career.

Interesting fact: Stamos answers the phone "talk to me" on Jake. Sound familiar?

That is the same way he answered it on Full House. Check out his updated catchphrase as heard on Jake in Progress. It's pretty much the only thing the show has going for it.

A guy who was a painter for David Letterman has been arrested for plotting to kidnap his son and hold him for $5 million ransom. He was also planning to kidnap the kid's nanny, so he could have someone take care of him until the ransom was paid. I'm telling you, you can never tell what a man with a moustache is thinking. Especially with a moustache this lush:



There was a rumor going around that the red-headed Desperate Housewife Marcia Cross was a lesbian. Put your kinky fantasies to rest for now. She's dating a man. First Marissa breaks up with her girlfriend on the OC, now this.


Authorities are thinking about charging Paula Abdul with a hit and run. Her car clipped another on the highway and she kept going. But the other driving jotted down the license plate and took a picture of the car with a cameraphone. Cheesy joke alert: Didn't she have a hit and then run in the 80s? I know. Terrible.


Cybill Sheperd may get to reprise her role as Martha Stewart from NBC's 2003 made-for-tv move Martha Inc. This one will follow her prison stint and Cybill Sheperd's absolute career dive.


American Idol dork Mario Vazquez has hired the attorney who separated Clay Aiken from American Idol. When you sign up for the show, apparently you sign over your soul and half of your take from any CDs you sell. I wonder if Clay told Mario about the lawyer after breakfast in bed together.


ER has been renewed through 2008. Or whenever Noah Wyle hits puberty, whichever comes first.


50 Cent has started up a new feud. First it was Ja Rule. Then The Game. Then Fat Joe. So the natural pattern makes the next target Samuel L. Jackson.

Sam Jackson declined to be a co-star in 50 Cent's movie, because he doesn't want to work with unproven actors.

"These people think they're worthy of you sharing screen time with them but I don't think that. Maybe if 50 Cent does five movies and shows me some talent."

50 thinks there's a different reason.

"Basically, he didn't want to play second fiddle. He knew that because of my success, people would come to see the movie because of me - and he couldn't handle that. To be honest, I couldn't see where he would fit into the movie anyway - other than as my grandfather."

You don't make fun of a man who wears a beret, Fifty.

The Stooks Scoop

Thursday, March 17, 2005

Robert Blake as been acquitted of murdering his wife in 2001. The jury deliberated for nine days.
But his wife’s daughter could still win a suit in civil court for wrongful death.


Michael Jackson’s porn collection was shown to the jury yesterday. His collection includes Penthouse, Barely Legal and Teenage. So the only thing he has in common with other men may be the reason he gets thrown in jail.

Michael’s accuser says he never talked directly with Jay Leno. But that's not what Leno says. He says the kid's mom called him and then put him on the phone. "Even though I think Michael Jackson is guilty, I still went, ‘Boy, they finally found a mark.’" Then, Leno’s chin fell off.


Ashton Kutcher has hired Brad Pitt’s personal trainer. He was jealous when Demi was drooling over Brad in Troy.


Rosie O’Donnell told some fat jokes about Star Jones and Kirstie Alley at a women’s health benefit.

"Star says she’s lost that weight through diet and exercise. Yeah I’d like to see that *expletive* do a pushup."

Kirstie Alley is doing that Showtime show Fat Actress and says she was 201 pounds at her fattest. Rosie says she's a liar.

"That’s my goal weight. I’m 220 pounds. That woman was over 300 pounds, mark my words. I’m obsessed that she’s doing that show and then not telling the truth. I want a public weigh-in."

Then Rosie ate a wedding cake.

Drink Bud Light responsibly

Wednesday, March 09, 2005

At the end of every beer commercial, they say "Drink (insert name of beverage) responsibly."

Unless you're Guinness.

Then, you have a commercial where three guys wake up as if it were Christmas Day. They sprint down the stairs wearing their St. Pat's garb and open up their presents, which happen to be cases upon cases of Guinness, and several pony kegs. For three guys.

"Drink Guinness responsibly."

Stooks takes Manhattan

Tuesday, March 08, 2005

Not quite Muppet style, but probably as close as I'll come.

I've moved to Manhattan, KS, USA.

"How could you leave a place like Lawrence for Manhattan?!!!," my silly friend Tony would ask.

You see there is this weird thing that if you went to KU, you can't ever live in Manhattan. And if you went to K-State, you can't ever live in Lawrence. Both are stupid.

If you want to know how Manhattan is different from Lawrence, it's pretty simple. Take away all the stoners in Lawrence and replace them with soldiers. "Boom!" As Madden would say. Or "Bam!" as Emeril would later say, even though it's obvious he's ripping off Madden, which is a sad practice in and of itself.

My new home is in the morning on The Big Kat 97.5 in Junction City, just outside of Manhattan. We have a giant "stick" as radio geeks call it. "Blowtorch" is another acceptable term. We have a good signal that goes beyond Salina and stops just west of Topeka. Sorry T-Towners and Lawrencians and Olatherand Parkians, you'll have to keep it here to stay up to date on Stooksville.

The show returns from its hiatus Monday morning. I hope you can check it out sometime. And the show will always continue on mattstooks.com.

Shuffled Thoughts

Thursday, March 03, 2005

Goodcents smells good.

Body Odor smells bad.

They both smell exactly the same.

What's up with that?


What's the difference between barbecue, barbeque, Bar-B-Q and BBQ?


Casseroll has to be the most disgusting name for a food. Apparently everyone but me eats it.


Do you think a barber has ever slipped on a banana peel and gauged someone's eye out?


You get an "A" for effort, but effort starts with an "E." Maybe it should be "E" for effort, just to confuse a lot of degenerate children.


People who say Olive Garden is in the same class as Applebees deserve to be stir fried.


I know a guy who will shake your hand like you shake a parmisan can when all the little dispensing holes get clogged.

Burger King Cheesecake!

Wednesday, March 02, 2005

Sorry for the delay in posts. I just got my new computer up and running at an undisclosed location west of Topeka. Since I'm in transition to my new home, I don't have a giant selection in my refrigerator. In fact, I have one generic carton of orange juice in the fridge. That's all.

Luckily, I live a couple of blocks from some fine dining establishments, including Burger King. I couldn't be happier with what I just ate. I ordered an eight piece chicken strip, and got ten for the same price! Then I threw two away.

But the real winner on the menu is the new Dulce De Leche Caramel Cheesecake. Delicious. Just look at the picture.

It never tastes as good as the picture, which has a surprising papery taste to it. You shouldn't eat pictures. But I can't seem to learn my lesson.

Okay, so it didn't come on that fancy plate. Or have that whipped cream on top. In fact, that's not even the picture they have at the restaurant. It's a Cheesecake Factory picture. But the Burger King cheesecake was still pretty good. Only $1.19.
